This is the first poem in a small series that I am writing...

In the still of the night
The silent killer lurks
Taking Johnny's family
While he is off at work
Johnny was warned
Not to mess with the mob
He should have taken the hint
When they killed his beloved dog
The sun arises
To dawn a new day
Where Johnny returns home
To find all his family slain
His eyes red with anger
And heart full of sorrow
He takes his wifes hand and says
"I'll avenge your deaths tomorrow!!"
He spends the rest of the day
Stocking up on ammo and guns
He's on a mission to take out the mob
One by every single one
Later that night
Johnny tries to get some rest
Because tomorrow he knows that
He'll need to be at his very best...
